Warner Bros. Games and 5th Cell announced today that they’re working on a new entry in the popular Scribblenauts series called Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure. As the name implies, players will be solving situational puzzles with the help of DC heroes and villains. What makes this particular game special, however, is that it features over 2,000 characters from DC Comics’ storied history.

5th Cell’s Caleb Arseneaux told Polygon that Scribblenauts Unmasked will have every character to ever appear in a DC comic book. I’m sure the most hardcore fans of DC Comics fans will see if that claim is true, but most will be content to know that there are 33 different Batmans in the game – covering every single variation on the character over the years.

Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure will launch later this year on Wii U, 3DS and PC.

Barnes & Noble announced a newly updated Nook app for iOS that allows customers to purchase and read comics on their iOS device. It’s a nice alternative for iOS device owners who may have found Comixology or the dedicated Marvel app lacking in options. The wide selection of graphic novels is also a nice bonus.

Alongside the addition of comics, the new Nook for iOS app adds the “Zoom View” feature that allows readers to “focus in on individual panels in graphic novels and comics.” Anybody who has tried to read a comic on a tablet or smartphone before knows how painful it can be sometimes so the addition of this feature is welcome.

Here are the other new features now available on Nook for iOS:

“With our free, updated Nook for iOS application, we’re delivering to customers with iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch a great optimized reading experience, now with access to Nook Comics, one of the leading collections of digital comics and graphic novels available,” said Jamie Iannone, President of Digital Products at Nook Media LLC. “Using their iOS device, customers can enjoy Nook’s collection of more than 3 million digital books, magazines and newspapers, as well comics and graphic novels with the stunning Zoom View feature.”

To celebrate the comic-centric update, Nook will be giving away a free Superman sampler to all those who upgrade their iOS app. The sampler includes excerpts from Superman: Last Son of Krypton, Superman: For Tomorrow, Superman: Earth One, and Justice League Volume 1: Origin. It’s no Free Comic Book Day, but it’s still a nice gesture.

You can grab the newly updated Nook for iOS app here.

Batman’s superior tactics win out once again in the final round of the Injustice: Gods Among Us battle arena. After a month of fights, it came down to the two most iconic characters in the DC Comics universe. The victor was decided by votes, but it was pretty obvious that Batman was going to win anyway.

Injustice: Gods Among Us has been available since Tuesday, and early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. There seems to be some issues with balance, but that shouldn’t bother hardcore DC fans looking to live out their fantasy of Aquaman becoming the most powerful DC hero.

If you’re unfamiliar with the events leading up to hero vs. hero fights in Injustice, let’s just say that Metropolis is no more and Superman is very angry. You should avoid the video below if you don’t want the opening moments of the game’s story spoiled, but there’s some quality storytelling and acting here. The Joker in particular stands out even though it’s a little sad that Mark Hamill didn’t reprise his role this time around.

If you don’t like spoilers and just want to watch super heroes beat each other up, you should check out the launch trailer for the game. There’s plenty of combat to go around.

Injustice: Gods Among Us will launch on April 16 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

Thankfully, the iOS version of Injustice isn’t a poorly constructed fighting game for mobile platforms. Instead, the team has created a thoughtful title that combines the cinematic fights of its console brother with an accessible collectible card game mechanic that players can use to level up their fighters.

As an added bonus, Injustice for iOS unlocks exclusive content in the console version of the game. It’s not being said what can be unlocked, but it’s probably a few costumes or other aesthetic rewards. Still, it’s better than nothing.

You can grab Injustice for iOS here. It’s a free-to-play title supported by microtransactions that aren’t exactly micro. There’s something definitely wrong when an in-game item costs $100, but that debate is for another time.

Before we get to that, however, Batman and Superman had to emerge victorious over their opponents in the semi-finals. First up, Batman squared off against The Flash where Batman easily took the win. Of course, some YouTube commenters are not exactly pleased with the outcome – rightly pointing out that The Flash could handily beat Batman in a matter of seconds if the outcome was decided by anything other than voting.

The other matchup saw Superman taking on Green Lantern. Once again, votes decide the ultimate victor, but this fight is at least a little more balanced. Green Lantern can easily put up a decent fight against Superman, but the combined powers of Superman and Killer Croc were just too much to bear.

The final fight between Superman and Batman will air two weeks from now. Both characters are incredibly popular so it will be interesting to see which hero gets the most votes.

Injustice: Gods Among Us launches across the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U on April 16.

First up, we have the much anticipated match up between Batman and Wonder Woman. Since the victors are decided by popular vote, it’s pretty obvious that Batman would win this fight. That being said, Wonder Woman puts up a great fight. Her stage is also a thing of beauty.

In what is possibly the strangest matchup today, The Joker and The Flash face off. I would have figured that The Joker would win the most votes, but The Flash came through to earn himself a spot against Batman in the semi-finals.

On the other side of the bracket, we first have Aquaman versus Green Lantern. While it was nice to see Aquaman come away with at least one win, he couldn’t stand up to the might of Hal Jordan.

The final fight is by far the most unfair of the bunch – Superman versus Green Arrow. Green Arrow has some amazing trick arrows, but Superman was guaranteed to win.

The results of the quarterfinals ensure that we’re in for a treat once the semifinals start up a few weeks from now. I’m especially interested in seeing that Batman versus The Flash fight. It’s sure to be exciting.

Injustice: Gods Among Us hits Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U on April 26

Earlier this week, fans and “celebrity analysts” said that Superman and Green Arrow were the favorites to win this week’s matches. Spoiler: They were right on the money.

Sinestro put up a terrific fight, but it’s really hard to compete with Superman. Still, Sinestro is high on my list of villains who could actually pose a threat to the Man of Steel.

As for the Green Arrow’s win, I don’t think we can really give it to him. One of DC’s more prominent villains really stole the win here.

Starting next week, we’ll finally be getting into the quarter finals where Batman will take on Wonder Woman. It should prove to be an incredibly entertaining fight.

Injustice: Gods Among Us launches across the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U on April 16.

DC Comics announced today that Hawkgirl and Sinestro will be joining the ranks of playable characters in Injustice: Gods Among Us. Neither character hardly needs an introduction, but here’s a nice rundown courtesy of the Injustice channel:

Sinestro will be taking on Sinestro in the first round, while Hawkgirl will be taking on Green Arrow. Both fights should be incredibly interesting. We’ll find out who wins and moves on to the next round on Friday.

Injustice: Gods Among Us will be out on April 16 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.

As an added bonus, here’s Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes talking about this week’s match up:

DC Comics announced this week that it would be starting up a new Batman/Superman comic book series as part of the New 52 reboot that launched last year. The new series will focus on the first meeting between what are arguably DC’s most iconic and popular characters.

First time DC writer Greg Pak will be in charge of the story with Jae Lee handling the art. Marvel fans will know Pak from his work on Incredible Hullk and War Machine. Jae Lee is also a frequent Marvel artist who has worked on series like Fantastic Four and Young Avengers. This will not be Lee’s first time with DC, however, as he did the art for Before Watchmen: Ozymandias last year.

So what’s the new series going to be about? Pak isn’t saying much, but he did tell USA Today that the first meeting between the two heroes will probably not be pleasant:

“What would your reaction be if you saw a guy running around in a bat costume in the dead of night attacking people for the first time? And what would your reaction be if you met an alien who could crush steel in his bare hands for the first time? These guys are going to have very different immediate impressions of each other than we’re used to seeing with these characters.”
